CV35W's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[TheFatRat & JJD - Prelude (VIP Edit)]

I love this track a lot more than I should tbh, the beginning with the sorta ethereal instruments jumps into this happy little melody that really does feel like the intro to a play- almost like it's setting the scene for the tracks coming after it. I give this an "unbridled optimism" out of 10

[novadrome - summer nights]

This track is probably one of my favorite lo-fi pieces I've heard on Newgrounds- you really have the melody and effects on lock with this one.

Only nitpick I have is that I'd like a little more variation outside of the pauses and breaks- one thing I think could match with this track is some ambient natural sounds (maybe crickets?)

Either way, this is a solid lo-fi track- keep doing what you're doing!

[Paradise]

Nice track!

It is repetitive as you said, but I'm not one to stand in the way of personal preference.
The main melody is pretty nice and the beat is solid.
As for other notes, I think the beginning could have been much more toned down for a smoother transition.

You've got potential. Keep it up!

DJ-Doty responds:

Thanks for your support! I appreciate it. :)
Yeah, YouTube tutorials really help with really getting the most out of the sounds. ;)

[Life is Strange]

That melody kicks ass for a MIDI file.

As for complaints, the best thing you can achieve with MIDI is when you make it not sound like MIDI.
Poke around with different effects from reverb & echo to more advanced things to find a good sound that makes the robotic MIDI feel disappear.

Keep at it!

Thank you so much!!
Yeah, the robotic sounds of the MIDI were actually intentional-- it's sort of a blend between old and new ^^
